A DFSG-free package must allow modification and must say so in its
license.  I'm not sure I share the opinion about what you should do
about the problem.  I'd suggest contacting the copyright holder and
trying to get explicit permission to distribute modified versions and
to modify the software.  If you fail to get that permission you will
need to move the software into non-free.
